Pornhub Marks Arbor Day by Planting a Tree for Every 100 Big-Wood Videos Watched

This Arbor Day season, Pornhub has found a new way to celebrate its commitment to giving America wood.

The adult site says it will plant a tree for every 100 videos watched in the site's "Big Dick" category. The "Pornhub Gives America Wood" promotion (landing page is porn-free) is part of an ongoing safe-for-work approach to marketing that has helped broaden Pornhub's buzz.

Recently, AdFreak covered Pornhub’s SFW amateur advertising contest, a witty repository of wink-wink-nudge-nudge visual puns.

But Pornhub is still fairly new to these kinds of promotions. For example, right now there's no telling where the trees are going. Not wanting to be premature, the site hasn’t chosen a partner to actually plant the trees (more than 13,000 of which have already been earned). Once this limited-time offer is over, Pornhub will choose among Arbor Day Foundation, Trees for the Future and American Forests.

You only have until midnight on May 2 to contribute, so if you love the earth, you better get to work getting off as soon as you get off work.




9 Ads That Could Spank the Competition in Pornhub’s Amateur Advertising Contest (SFW)

"Do you have what it takes to be the Creative Director of the world's No. 1 adult website?"

That's the ballsy challenge from Pornhub, which recently launched a contest to create work-safe ads for the adult video site. 

"Traditionally, porn has been a taboo subject—but the fact is, over 35 million people visit Pornhub.com every day," notes the challenge's creative brief. "How do we reach the next 35 million? We need a national advertising campaign that can be channeled through mainstream media."

All entries must be "G-rated" and safe for work, although the results so far have been so drenched in innuendo that they probably don't qualify as either, as bros around the world let their creative juices flow.

Check out the full gallery on the contest's (SFW) Tumblr page, or just browse some of the more interesting submissions below. It's going to be hard, but a few seem like they could go all the way.
